Last night we announced a last-minute Madlib show in London at Dance Tunnel.

With support from One Handed Music’s Paul White, Mr Beatnick, Radio 1?s Benji B, and Now-Again’s Egon, an hour before the doors opened the queue stretched half-way down Kingsland Road. Those who did get in were treated by two impressive special guests: Madlib collaborator MF DOOM, and another collaborator of yet-to-be-released works, Mos Def. (Sorry. We’re suppose to call him Yasiin Bey.)

You can watch a Vine of Mos Def spitting over Madlib below, courtesy of Mr. Beatnick. Thanks also to Fact Mag for shouting out the show.

Wait what?
is Mos still blac on both sides? cuz if his new character is all about some hebrew sermon ass shit then I will cop the one good collabo song he gets from Madlib on some jazz shit and toss the rest. HEAR THAT YASiiN BEY- YOU BETTER COME HARD WITH IT LIKE THAT SUMMER I GOT YOUR FIRST ALBUM NOT LIKE YOU A CAMEO IN SOME RANDOM FLICK OKAY

Got there early, but others got there EARLIER, lol. waited ages in the cold (but was in good company so all was fine with Mr Dragon Stout/s). To our right was a man talking on his mobile, sounding like Doom, looking like Doom…It WAS DOOM chatting on his phone likely trying to get in the place incognito. lol When he twigged we sussed him, he made his way to the entrance to get in ASAP (big up). Half the line got in, police were getting shook and urging everyone to go. Me and my peeps opted to go to a local pub for everything to die down and then planned to come back. Which we did. WE GOT IN and caught Madlib, Yasiin and saw Egon & Paul, but didn’t get to hear a set from Paul or see MF Doom unfortunately, but was happy none-the-less and got to give Madlib a pound and some respect so all was good.
